My favorite is "Wearing of the gray" by Bobbu Horton. I have a strong passion for the history of the civil war, and I've had dreams about being a Confederate soldier and witnessing the surrender at the McLean house. This song perfectly captures all of the emotions I felt when I saw Robert E. Lee shake US Grant's hand.
I usually don't like sad music, but this song is just absolutely beautiful.

"The fearful struggle’s ended now, and peace smiles on our land
And though we’ve yielded, we have proved ourselves a faithful band.
We fought them long, we fought them well, we fought them night and day
And bravely struggled for our rights while wearin’ of the Grey!

And now that we have ceased to fight and pledged our sacred word
That we, against the Union’s might no more will draw the sword
We feel despite the sneers of those who never smelled the fray
That we’ve a manly honest right to wearin’ of the Grey.

Our Cause is lost, no more we fight ‘gainst overwhelmin’ power.
All wearied are our limbs and drenched with many a battle shower.
We feign would rest for want of strength and yield them up the day
And lower the flag so proudly borne while wearin’ of the Grey.

Defeat is not dishonor; No, of honor not bereft.
We should thank God that in our breasts, this priceless boon has left.
And though we weep tis for those braves who stood in proud array
Beneath our flag and nobly died while wearin’ of the Grey.

When in the ranks of war, we stood and faced the deadly hail
Our simple suits of Grey composed our only coats of mail.
And on those awful hours that marked the bloody battle day
In memory, we will still be seen a wearin’ of the Grey.

Oh, should we reach that glorious place where waits the sparklin’ crown
For everyone who, for the right, his soldier’s life lay down,
God grant to us the privilege upon that happy day
Of clasping hands with those who fell a wearin’ of the Grey.”

'Be Nice to Me' by The Front Bottoms. Here are the first half of the lyrics:


I got boulders on my shoulders
Collar bones begin to crack
There is very little left of me and it's never coming back
There are certain things you ask of me
And there are certain things I'll lack
The beginning, we were winning
But now I'm just making up facts

What's it matter anymore?
If you believe the lies I tell
There's no meaning to the words
But we still sing these songs well
If we all left it alone
I'm sure it'll work itself out fine
We keep playing with the numbers
We are running out of time
We are running, we are running

But you're a killer and I'm your best friend
Think it's unfair, your situation
You say I'm changing
Sorry I didn't know I had to stay the same
Can we talk about this later?
Your voice is driving me, driving me insane

Huggin and Kissin by Big Black Delta

Giving me love
All on your canvas
All of the girls
All on the mattress

Lock the door
Dim the lights
Bottoms up
I'm in love
And you too

You're the best I can do

Pushing and shoving
Hugging and kissing
All of the time
All over again

Lock the door
Then we'll die
Bottoms up
I'm in love
I love you

You're the best I can do

And she told me
That she loved me
And she gave me my money back
